A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin Copper-Blue Dial - Monochrome Watches
Anyone truly familiar with German watch brand A. Lange & Sohne can be considered an insider. Established in 1845 in the Saxony region of Germany, this Dresden brand was expropriated after World War II and nearly experienced extinction. However, after the Wall came down and Germany was reunified, Walter Lange, great-grandson of founder Ferdinand Adolph Lange had the vision to rebuild the brand in the early 1990's. Today, A. Lange & Sohne boasts 62 manufacture movements and some of the most sophisticated complications on the market. Additionally, the brand's beautiful German designs and horological mastery yield true collector pieces. The Saxonia Thin, the brand's thinnest timepiece and its entry-level offer, is easily one of the most sought-after watches in its repertoire. Now, that coveted status rises thanks to the newest model, the Saxonia Thin with a copper-blue dial that yields an unparalleled celestial appeal. Ad - Scroll to continue with article

Industry The Revival Of Daniel Roth in 2023, Thanks to LV
If you’re into independent watchmaking, the name Daniel Roth should immediately speak to you. One of the most sought-after independent watchmakers, and a man who was instrumental in the return of high-end mechanical watchmaking in the 1980s and 1990s (including his work on the resurgence of Breguet), the brand Daniel Roth has known many lives… And some that were perhaps not worthy of the name. But something is about to happen that will bring much joy to collectors: Daniel Roth, one of the defining independent watch brands of the 20th century, is coming back, run as an independent brand, with guidance and incubation from La Fabrique Du Temps Louis Vuitton.?Daniel Roth has been an instrumental figure in the revival of mechanical, high-end, traditional watchmaking in the mid-1970s. He was one of the key players in the resurrection of Breguet, together with the Chaumet Brothers (from 1976 to 1988) and worked on bringing back the classic Breguet style. Together with Lemania, Bre

Introducing The New Oris ProPilot Altimeter Carbon Composite
Although it is probably far more useful to mountaineers, hikers, climbers, skiers and other adventurous kinds than modern-day airline pilots flying in a pressure-controlled environment, the Oris ProPilot Altimeter remains a rarity, as it is one of the very few mechanical altimeter watches available. In fact, it is the only one with an automatic movement! First presented as a Big Crown ProPilot in 2014, this year, the Altimeter watch gets upgraded and comes in a slimmer, high-tech case.Oris wanted the new ProPilot Altimeter case made from innovative lightweight and solid materials and turned to a Zurich-based company, 9T Labs. 9T Labs has experience in the air, space and auto industries, but Oris was the first watch company to use the 9T Labs technology. The company specialises in designing and developing manufacturing solutions for more robust and lighter parts made at lower cost and with minimum environmental impact. Their partnership resulted in a lightweight 47mm carbon fibre ProPil
